Zenon Zan Scibor, 84, long time resident of rural Marlette, climbed the golden stairs to be in the presence of his Lord and Savior on April 6, 2010.

Many were sad that day, another old veteran passed away.

The son of Polish immigrants, he was born in Warrendale, Michigan on September 3, 1925 to Wicenty and Aniela Scibor.

He joined the U.S. Navy, a lad of 18, and served his country with pride and valor in the Pacific Theatre aboard the LST610.

A "City boy" he married his "Country Girl" on November 15, 1952 in St. Florian Church in Hamtramck, Michigan, then spent his years on acreage in rural Marlette, with wife of 56 years Dolores, and daughters Shannon and Andréa.

Along with farming, he spent 12 years managing Rubber & Plastics Co. in North Branch. He was a life member of the V.F.W. of Marlette and the Knights of Columbus as a 3rd. & 4th. degree Knight. He was “Master of fish fryers” a number of years for the K. of C. fish fries.

He took pride in his extended family. He survived by his wife Dolores of 56 years; daughter Andrea Muxlow; grandsons, Dr. Chad (Rachel) Muxlow and children Carson and Summer; Tyler (Janelle) Muxlow and children Lilly, Wyatt and Willow Grace, Gregory Wood; granddaughters, Alicia (Jason) Kinney and son Reed and Estelle Wood who will miss their "Dziadzi"; sister Genevieve Obloj; and nieces and nephews who all told him "Uncle Zan" you’re my favorite uncle.

Those waiting to greet him were daughter Shannon, his parents and five siblings.
